Pr. Karl Bachman, put together a nice introduction to the use of the orders of daily prayer in the Treasury of Daily Prayer. These orders of daily prayer are also known as “office” or the “divine office.” During the time of the Middle Ages these became obligatory especially among the monastic communities where they developed eventually into seven set “hours” of prayer, hence the expression, “liturgy of the hours.” Here is a PDF file divine_office and here is the Word format of this document: divine_office
